Is Sedgwick Claims Management A Disability Insurance Company? Sedgwick is a third party administrator that manages short term and long term disability insurance claims on behalf of employers and insurance companies. As a third party administrator Sedgwick may have the authority to approve or deny a disability insurance claim, but the money to actually fund the disability benefit is not paid by Sedgwick. For example, Sedgwick is the claims administrator for the AT&T disability plan, but the money to pay benefits, if approved by Sedgwick, comes from AT&T. Sedgwick claims to have more than 6,400 employees in more than 150 offices throughout the US and Canada. Sedgwick prides themselves on providing cost effective claims management, which usually means they use special techniques to help employers or insurance companies reduce the amount of financial exposure due to paying disability benefits. Additional information about Sedgwick and their philosophy for handling disability insurance claims can be reviewed here. From our law firm’s experience, Sedgwick appears to be overwhelmed with disability claims and they do not hire qualified people to administer claims. Sedgwick claims examiners function like robots and in most cases it seems as if they are programmed to deny disability benefits. Sedgwick has all of the resources necessary to attempt to prove a claimant is not disabled. For example, Sedgwick purchased a company called Factual Photo. Factual Photo was purchased so that Sedgwick could have their own in-house resources in order to obtain video surveillance and photos of disability insurance claimants.

If you work for a self insured company such as Frito Lay, like I do, expect to be screwed. My claim was actually a workman’s comp. claim and Sedgthugs worked closely with Frito Lay to find doctors that they could pay to claim that it was a non work injury ($2,000.00 to one doctor). Guy did a brief (and I do mean brief) exam, asked a couple of questions and sent me on my way. Disgusting little company out to screw over the hard working Americans. Way to go Sedgthugs! Karl Redd: I have been on short term dissability with Qualcom sedwick CMS and they have not paid me in 1 month. This is my only income and they dont even care. It is there faught because of there new system they say. There manager Ms Jenny Marathow dosnt even return calls if she exist at all. They say its payroll Qualcom’s problem and payroll Qualcom says its CMS issue. I don’t know what to do. I requested to speak to a higher Dept and CMS says they dont know who that is, stating they dont have a complaint dept WOW I cant believe that no one is running the Office. I feel Qualcom benefits dept should get involved to watch over ther employees so they want be abused like this. After this treatment who would ever want to work for Qualcom because of the treatment from a CMS. I was a good employee for 3 years and I am dissabled now trying to recover from foot surgery and this is the treatment i get. April: i was at at green mountain coffee roasters and was injured feb of 2011 as of yet i have recieved nothing. doctors havent been paid for visits or my surgery. i have hired an attorney because being decent and honest with Sedwick proved to be a costly mistake. Thanks for this blog. more people need to find out about the way things are handled. We all are not a bunch of “bumber chasers”. we are just people trying to be treated fair. M. I. Rob: I have had 2 claims with Sedgwick. The first one was OK, I guess. Not the best, but I do feel that they pay off doctors. My impairment rating was fixed, I’m sure of it, seeing that I went to another doctor and he said that my impairment should have been WAY higher. But the 2nd one is the one I’m having the most trouble with. I basically injured the same thing. My surgery failed from the first claim and they don’t want to pay for it. The only thing is, if I dont have this surgery I will lose my hand. I’m seriously about to get an attorney on this one… if I can afford it. It’s just a never ending battle with this company. I’m really disappointed that my employer would hire such a crappy company! Pam Wolfe: Husband works for 3M. They realized husband is disabled at this time and shouldn’t be at work but Sedgwick don’t care, they are insisting he return to work with out doctor’s release, even though the functionality test says not able to return to work ’till after treatment, which he just started. Looking into an attorney now. Tired of harassing phone calls every other day. Attorney Greg Dell: Pam, As you are aware, Sedgwick can be a very difficult company to deal with. Please contact us privately to discuss how we may be able to assist your husband. Paperworked Out:
